Migrating data from Mavericks
How can I migrate data from a Macbook Pro running Mavericks to an iMac running Mountain Lion? Just connected via ethernet cable but neither machine recognises the other.
Hi popplegold!
I would recommend using the steps for moving data listed in the following article:
OS X: Manually migrating data from another Mac

Can't migrate date from old mbp to new mbp using maverick
Hi have a new MBP 15 and 1 old one 12 maths old bothe running maverick. Have been trying to migrate data from older MBP but they keep disconnecting as soon as the transfer is about to start.
Use the Setup Assistant during your initial setup of the new computer. You will need to connect your old computer to the new computer to do this. You can do this using a current Time Machine backup of the old computer if you can connect the backup drive to the new computer. See Target Disk Mode and About Windows Migration Assistant.

Migrate data from imac to macbook pro
I want to migrate data from an imac over to a macbook pro. The macbook pro already has data on it which i want to keep on it. I want to make a new user on the macbook pro called "imac" and this user will have all the imacs data stored on it. How can I transfer all this data across and how can i put it into a new user?
Both computers are running OSX Mavericks.Thunderbolt is even better than Firewire.
Migration Assistant will not overwrite any existing data or existing user account. It will only create a new account and transfer into the new account.
If you wish to move data from your other computer into an existing user account on the target computer, then you don't want to use Migration Assistant. You would use another type of tool such as a standard backup utility or file/folder synchronization tool. I would suggest using Carbon Copy Cloner. Bear in mind that for this to work correctly the usernames of both the source and target accounts should be the same lest you run into permissions problems after the transfers.
CCC will let you specify only what you want to transfer or let you clone an entire volume. -
Incorrect link to "OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mountain Lion and earlier". Should be http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6025
I think the OP is saying OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mountain Lion and earlier (which should be a link to HT4889) just links back to OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mavericks (HT5872).
It does indeed do that, & HT4889 seems to be MIA. -
Migrating data from macbook to MBP questions
i just got a new macbook pro 2.5ghz yesterday. i have been using a macbook late 2008 aluminum. i want to migrate about 225 GB of data from old computer to new computer. What is the fastest way of the available options? I know that wireless is out of the question. i have an ethernet cable and was thinking of using that to connect the two computers. Would it be faster to go from the the MacBook USB to the MBP firewire? Would i use a USB to firewire cable, or a firewire cable with a USB adapter? Any rough idea of how long any of these connections might take for that amount of data? The new computer has a 1 terrabyte hard drive 5400rpm. thanks
The link explains how to migrate data using Mavericks. The Macbook Pro i got is not the retina display model, it's the previous model, which i chose to get so i could get the large hard drive, needing the space. The new MBP came with Mountain Lion, doesn't have Mavericks on it yet. It has a firewire port and a thunderbolt port and two USB ports. The old computer, the MacBook, has only USB ports, no firewire. I'm moving the data from the old computer to the new computer. Since the data is going to the new Mac, i thought would be the Target Disk, right? So, i will put the old Mac "in Target Disk," is that right? That means it's going to target another disk, is that right? It's confusing temrinology, but i bet it's perfectly clear when you are doing it and following the process.
So firewire is the fastest choice and in order to use it with these two computers, i need to use a USB to Firewire cable to connect the old computer to the new computer, if i understand right.
Do you know if there's any source of information how long (roughly) it might take to migrate about 225GB usintg USB to FireWire? I want to plan for a time when i won't be able to use either computer.
thanks! -
After migrating data from Time Machine, some of my photos are not showing up in iPhoto LIbrary view. I get a 'dashed rectangle." When I click on it I get ' ! in a Triangle" When I click on that, I actually can see the photo. I want to see all my photos in 'Library' view, and I can't figure out how these photos seem to be arbitrarily hidden. Help, please.
Try these for the first attempt:
First be sure to have a backup copy of the library if you already don't have one.

How to only migrate data from SQL Server 2008 to Oracle 11?
According to our requirement, We need to only migrate data from a SQL Server database to an existed
Oracle database user.
1) I tried to do it with SQL Developer 3.0.04 Migration Wizard, But find an issue.
My SQL Server database name is SCDS41P2, and my Oracle database user name is CDS41P2;
When I used SQL Developer to do offline move data by Migration Wizard, I found all oracle user
name in movedata files which gotten by run Migration Wizard
is dbo_SCDS41P2. If the Oracle user name is not the same as my existed Oracle user name,
the data can't be moved to my existed Oracle user when I run oracle_ctl.bat in command line window.
So I had to modify the Oracle user name in all movedata files, but it's difficult to modify them because there are many tables in
databases. So could you please tell me how to get the movedata files which the oracle user name in them is my
expected Oracle user name?
2) I also tried to use the 'copy to Oracle' function to copy the SQL Server database tables data
to the existed Oracle database user. When clicked 'copy to Oracle', I selected 'Include Data' and 'Replace' option
But I found some tables can't be copied, the error info is as below:
Table SPSSCMOR_CONTROLTABLE Failed. Message: ORA-00955: name is already used by an existing object
Could you please tell me how to deal with this kind of error?
Thanks!
Edited by: 870587 on Jul 6, 2011 2:57 AMHi,
Thanks for you replying. But the 'copy to oracle' function still can't be work well. I will give some info about the table. I also search 'SPSSCMOR_CONTROLTABLE' in the target schema, and only find one object. So why say 'name is already used by an existing object'? Could you please give me some advice? Thanks!

How can I migrate data from an old MBA to a new one without having access to the screen of the old one? The screen of the old MBA is damaged !
If your "older" MBA has a Thunderbolt port then it isn't that old. See Target Disk Mode about how it's used. Note that without a monitor you won't be able to tell from the screen when it has fully started, and if it succeeded in starting in TDM. If it did, then the hard drive should appear on the Desktop of your new computer. You can then access it to transfer your files. You can even use Migration Assistant or any backup utility to transfer data. Just don't try to transfer system files.

Just Recently bought a new Mac, because my old PC crashed again, ( finished w/ microsoft) but now i would like to migrate data from my external drive i used on my PC to my new Mac. i loaded the Migration assitant from utilities but didnt see how to migrate the data from this external drive. which is a SEgate drive. any ideas.
Just in case you are not aware of this, you can probably use your external drive, which you presumably now no longer need for your PC, as the backup drive using the Mac's Time Machine. If you still have any Windows specific files that you want to keep, it is really easy to partition the drive so that you can keep Windows files and Mac files in different partitions.

Under the direction of Apple Support, I recently erased my iMac (Intel) hard drive, reinstalled and updated software and migrated data from an external hard drive via Time Machine.
Now, after clicking on "PRINT", the print dialog box says "printing" then says "no pages found", and finally says "stopped"; and when I plug in my camera to download photos, the camera is not recognized. Both printer and camera are connected via USB.
I checked connections, verified printing and iPhoto preferences, turned printer off then on again, unplugged and replugged USB connections, and checked and followed directions in the Help menu.Thanks very much, I'd just tried rkaufmann87's suggestion and entered "This solved my question" when your suggestion popped up—you deserve a "This solved my question" too, though I saw only an option for "This helped me".
Before I got rkaufmann87's suggestion, I repaired disk permissions and that resolved the camera problem. Both of you nailed the solution.
Thanks again! -
Just bought a new MacBook Pro. Attempting to migrate data from a power mac G4 running Mac OS X 10.6.8 using a firewire.
Mac Book will recognize the Mac Pro but the Mac Pro just continues to search for the Mac Book. What should I do?

[email protected]Put the G4 into Target Disk Mode and open Migration Assistant on the new MBP. Your G4 needs to be running 10.5.8.

Firewire to migrate data from MacBook Pro to imac?
Would someone guide me as to what kind of firewire I need to buy to migrate data from my MacBook Pro (which is two years old, OS X 10.6.8) to an iMac (which is brand new, but also two years old, it's the older model with a 20" screen). I've never even heard of firewire until I turned on the iMac for the first time, so would be very appreciative of guidance. Thanks!
Note if any of the data came from a PowerPC Mac originally, read this tip first:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2295
As that older data if it hasn't been through the Migration Assistant can give the Assistant a big headache. -
Hello All,
We have migrated data from virsa 4.0 to grc 10.1, all virsa mitigation
approvers and controllers got migrated but we are not able to map new
mitigation approver and controller to the mitigation ids.
The steps we have done below.
1. We have created user id in su01 with necessary authorizations
2. we have declared this user id in Access control owners as a
mitigation approver and assigned to the organization unit
Now we are trying to map to newly created mitigation approver to the
mitigation id but we are not able to find that approver id for the mitigation ids. (only old mitigation ids came from VIRSA only we are able to see, not able to add new mitigation approvers / controllers to the mitigation ids)
Kindly check this issue, this is very critical for us.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
KarunakarHi Karunakar,
- Assign Owners to Organization unit
- Make these owners as Mitigation Approver and Monitor
- Create Mitigation Id in this Org. unit

Migrating Data from old iMac G5 (PPC) to new iMac QC i7
I have had an iMac G5 PPC for about 6 years. The logic board just died about 2 weeks ago.
I am about to purchase a new 27" iMac Quad-core i7 machine, and I am wondering what is the best way to migrate data from the old machine to the new one.
I have a few different questions...
I use SuperDuper! to backup, so I do have a full copy of my hard drive on an external drive. But the data is about 2 weeks older than the hard drive on my G5 (meaning, I backed up about 2 weeks before the machine died, so there is data on there that I'd love to retrieve). I understand that I can pull the hard drive out of the iMac G5 and buy a cable to attach it to the new machine. I also understand that I can attach my external drive (with the SuperDuper! copy of my hard drive) to the new iMac, too, and run Migration Assistant (or Set Up Assistant) to transfer data.
However, I have heard that it is not good to do a straight migration from a Power PC to an Intel machine.
Is that true?
I would ideally like to transfer all my email (tens of thousands of them), my iPhoto library, my iTunes library, iCal, many many documents, and some other random stuff.
What do you recommend?
Should I do an automatic migration using Set Up Assistant and my external hard drive with the SuperDuper copy?
Should I (and can I?) do an automatic migration with the hard drive that I pull from the old machine?
Or should I (can I?) do a manual migration whereby I only copy the folders/files/libraries that I really want, and avoid clogging up the new machine with PowerPC apps, etc., that the new (Intel) iMac might not like?
This last one seems like the ideal choice, but I am not sure...and I don't know exactly how to go about that process.
Apologies for the long post, and many thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.
Best,

automatic migration works well for most people but problems are possible both because of architecture and system differences.
I would ideally like to transfer all my email (tens of thousands of them), my iPhoto library, my iTunes library, iCal, many many documents, and some other random stuff.
What do you recommend?
you can try automatic migration first. if you are worried about possible problems you can choose to migrate user data only but no applications. this should reduce the likelihood of conflicts. but if you run into problems you can always erase and install and do manual migration. since you have a superduper backup this option is not going away and is always available.
see this link on how to go about that
